Indeed - no Elizabeth - I have a sense of deja vu here :)!   We are quite confident on Elizabeth being correct.

This is the record that came close but Elizabeth clearly would have been way too young so doesn't match

Yes, Arthur is the son of Arthur Byrne and Elizabeth Byrne, nee Byrne

UPDATE - please note typo in screenshot - should be 1848 not 1846!

Only records I have to date in respect Arthur and Elizabeth Byrne is what I have found in the 1901 census and a probate record listing Arthur's death in 1907 - could not even find Elizabeth in 1911 census and suspect she may have either remarried or perhaps even emigrated - no idea - so also a dead end so far.  To compound things I also to date have no anecdotal info from any relatives either.  The candidate baptismal record for Arthur listing Charles and Anne as parents is highly speculative, bit of a shot in the dark to assume his parents were also local but at least a possible lead - attached a screenshot of this.

Arthur BYRNE m Elizabeth BYRNE on Oct 19 1871 in Killaveney
according to church records LINK

LINK to civil records

Father of Arthur is Hugh BYRNE a farmer; his age is 25 implying born 1846
Father of Elizabeth is Denis BYRNE a farmer; her age 23 implying born 1848
This would also imply the 1901 census ages are "a little" out which is not unusual

Patrick b April 25 1879
Denis b Nov 01 1883
Arthur b May 31 1885

Finding him is easy because we now know his age in 1901.

Not sure this is likely i.e. Arthur (married to Elizabeth) is 53 in 1901 (age also is consistent with 1907 death probate record), hence born in 1848 so presumably very unlikely Hugh Byrne would be his father as this Hugh Byrne was born 1846.
